I say they should turn him loose on Innoventions.

Absolutely!! I'm excited to see this movie!

I was hoping they'd take over Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I haven't seen the movie yet of course, but it sounds like it would make much more sense to have the ride be themed to something that's set in the video game world. You could have it be that it's a company testing "go into a video game" technology, and that would be the Tomorrowland tie-in. (Though of course, some people might say that would fit "TRON" better. I wonder if there will be a TRON reference in the movie.)

The answer is yes. However, I do not know how big. If you look in the recent trailer in the scene where Ralph trips over QBert in the background the word "TRON" can be found over one of the gates. It is in the back right.

There is no known ride coming. It's a new Meet and Greet location to promote the movie.

At Disneyland park, the arcade world of “Wreck-It Ralph” comes to life within the Tomorrowland Starcade. When Ralph and Vanellope are there, you’ll have an opportunity to meet them at the portal to “Sugar Rush” and can even play a round on the classic arcade game “Fix-It Felix, Jr.”
Look for each of these experiences to open this November, and be sure to catch “Wreck-It Ralph” in theaters November 2 in 3D!

I think I was a little unclear in my post. What I meant by "the ride" was that it would make more sense for Astro Blasters to be themed to a video game-themed movie instead of the toy Buzz Lightyear, since the idea of Astro Blasters seems to be to make you feel like you're in a video game. But I was just speculating about the future. I know that all they're doing right now is a meet and greet .

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but last week I was in line for Ghost Galaxy and saw about ten to twelve classic arcade machines on the second floor of the starcade half of which were turned on, they were also organized into two rows.

I looked for any sign of the meet & greet backdrop but didn't see anything. Then again it's not like any construction walls have gone up on the first floor either. Hmmm.

Coincidentally the Starcade closure began yesterday, so that is probably why you didn't see anything.

I think the best way to use the space when they're done with this is.....make the upper area into Flynns Arcade, have some old games, and some cool prizes and then a small area used for meet in greets where Tron or Ralph come out of the "data" world and into our world

YES! Bring back Tron and friends!

Ralph is arriving at the Starcade earlier than previously announced: This Friday.

Each one belongs in Tomorrowland equally as well as the other - which is not at all. One is a present day video game, the other is a present day toy.

Now if they made Buzz Lightyear as the actual space ranger rather than the toy, I could see it fitting.

[Slappypunk]

Sounds kind of neat. I myself can't wait for the movie. As far as characters go I would rather see some of the villians they have at the meeting from the trailer lol

I would love to take a picture with Bowser or the lil Pac-Man ghosts.

Does anyone know how long it's going to be there for? I'm going in January.

It will probably depend on guests demand or when a better use for the space is needed. ElecTronica lasted a long time and so has Repunzel and Merinda.
